Quaint, modest fixture providing traditional Thai standards along with beer & wine.
Beautiful cafe. Decor was super authentic. Loved the pork Sa Tay - the peanut sauce and the cucumber vinegar sauce were lovely! The Green Papaya Salad is seasonal - must try. The appetizer Pad Thai was a perfect taste for 2 people. The Thai Spring Rolls were a pleasant surprise - loved the mustard sauce. The Vegetable Green Curry was delicious
I am not sure how we missed Cafe De Siam, as we live so close. The food and service was outstanding. There were very few people seated in the cafe, but they obviously do a very busy take out business. The fresh spring rolls were really good, and very different from Vietnamese fresh rolls. The chicken with red curry was excellent. We found the prices to be very reasonable. The owner came to our table twice to make sure we were happy with the food and the service. I highly recommend. We will definitely return!
Looking for Asian restaurants and I couldn't believe their ranking was so high. I was finished at Target accross the street so I tried it. So yummy, cozy, and super friendly. Prices were extremely fair. I really enjoyed the curry chicken, next time I will get it a little more spicier. Highly recommend.
Food is good but they messed up my order. I clearly asked for duck panang for pick up and i got home and it was duck in another sauce. I called and was told they never have duck panang. BUT they never said that when i ordered! We came back and just wanted to get the panang sauce. They charge us 5.33. That should have been part of what I ordered to begin with! I think this could have been handled better, they accepted my order but gave me something else then i had to pay extra.
We’ve been coming to CafeDe Siam for years…we love the food, atmosphere and owners. We’ve never been disappointed!
This place is absolutely excellent, service was amazing the food is authentic the atmosphere is relaxing this place is amazing must try
I've been here countless times over the last two years, and it's top notch every time. Reasonable substitutions are allowed. Big veggie selection as well.
Everytime we eat here we try something new, and Everytime it's amazing!
I grew up eating here. The place is great. Would highly recommend the vegan fried rice with tofu. Really spicy levels too!

Love this food. The seafood combination is soo amazing
Good Thai food
Different Thai recipes than the mainstream ones make this a must try. Don't mind the wait; the food is amazing. Even the fresh spring rolls are different and the spicy mustard sauce it comes with is amazing.
Greeted with a warm smile from a nice lady who I assume to be the owner. She was friendly and sweet. The type of person who’s business you want to support. The food was authentic and tasty. I look forward to exploring more menu offerings on future visits. No frills interior, but very clean. It has been my experience that the best Asian spots tend to be this way. Highly recommend!
The food was pretty good. Customer service was fine. The woman greeted me with a smile. I was disappointed that I paid $15 for a medium sized container of rice with 5 small shrimp in it. The value is mediocre. I try to support local restaurants when I can, but recommend they increase their meat portions & give people what they paid for.
A beautiful restaurant with an owner who cares about her craft and is most kind to her customers. I'll be back often for the taste and comfort

Every dine in experience i’ve had here has been so pleasant! Not only is this the best/most authentic Thai food i’ve had but it’s top 5 favorite places for me and my boyfriend to come eat. Staff is also so kind.
Food was delicious, fast, and affordable. Service was great!
First time having Thai food...EXCELENT!!!
I had the #3 and it was absolutely amazing balance of flavors. The server was really nice and helpful and the lunch special is a really great deal. The spring roles were fresh and hot. The dessert was really good! If you’re Boricua, it tasted like tembleque. So good. Would go again. 10/10
I have traveled my fair share around Asia and visited Thailand several times. The hospitality, flavor, value is all perfect. I will be back soon.
We had Pad Thai and Pad Khing. Each included 2 small spring rolls and a small tapioca dessert. All were very tasty. Service was fast and friendly. Excellent deal for around $10 per person. Def recommend!
Beautiful place with great service and food. Love it❤️
Good food. Very flavorful. Lunch is the usual tiny egg rolls, good entre. Tapioca desert.
Goung pad puk. Tapioca pudding.
Favorite lunch spot!! Curry is fantastic!! Ginger tea is amazing! Service outstanding! Hidden gem💎
The food and service was great.
I had the noodle soup with chicken and the Chicken Pad Thai appetizer.
My husband had Gai Grub (a chicken dish with a pepper sauce and steamed veggies).
Everything was delicious and we recommend you try this place. You will not be disappointed.
We had dinner here on a Friday evening. We ordered #41 with Tofu, #35, and the Yom Kha Gai soup with two Thai teas with cream. Absolutely delicious. We’ve been to many Thai restaurants in Tampa, but none compare to this restaurant. The food and service were outstanding. This is a hidden gem. Super clean and quiet calming environment - love it! We will be back

Food was very boring. I love Thai food and this was a miss. Basically like the to-go Chinese restaurants quality. Staff was friendly and the food came out quickly.
Does not even deserve one star , I don't understand how this restaurant got 4.7 reviews .. the curry that we ordered had stale tofu . All courtesy that they offered is did not charge for tofu . Save yourself a ride ,DONT eat here !!!
Service was so fast, and I was so hungry, there was no time for any pics of their delicious food! This cafe is authentic, the owner is from Bangkok. The atmosphere is as good as they can do in this strip mall space. The lunch specials are a bargain.
You literally cannot beat this restaurant. The food is so authentic, made fresh, consistent, and insanely delicious. The woman who runs the restaurant is an angel on earth. I promise you will be wow-ed, whether it be dine in or take out. This place is AMAZING!!!!! Don’t skip it.
One of my favorite Thai spots. Hidden gem, been family business for over 25 years. If ur in the area and want some great food, this is the spot!
Great food. Great service. The nicest people in the world!
Delicious, fast, and amazing service! I love their food and how fast I am served and taken care of. Prices are great and the food is mouth watering 🤤
The food was absolutely amazing here. The customer service was even better. Everything was very clean. We will definitely be back!
My favorite Thai place. Small business style done right, for families, family run. Personal,polite service and yummy food.must have it at least monthly. The decor is a lovely tribute to thailand,complete with a waving cat at the register.
Great food. Fast. Gets pricey if you don't have a menu as asking for anything supplemental over rice is a big up charge.
Have been a patron at this establishment for around 20 years. The owner operator is kind and friendly, and with the help of her family, provides the best service, and the most delectable Thai cuisine in the bay area (if not the entire southern USA...I've moved to Texas and have not found another Thai restaurant of this caliber). The Gai Grob chicken dish is unique and a favorite of everyone's. All the other dishes are equally delicious. If you're looking for the best Thai cuisine, served in a quiet pleasant environment, Cafe de Siam is the place to go.
Yummm. Love going here for their Lunch special. It’s $10 and comes with spring rolls, your entree and a little dessert.
The food is fresh and delicious. Smaller than your average American restaurant meals but you’ll end up full after the 3 courses. This was #7 on their lunch menu (sorry forgot to take a pic of it).
Wonderful food from friendly people. This has been my go to spot for lunch for years when I worked in the area and I still try to get out there every couple months now that I'm further away.
Fantastic flavor, amazing service, great selection. I love it. Will be back.
We usually go to another Thai restaurant couple of miles west of Cafe De Siam, and we love that place. This week, we decided to try a different location and picked Cafe De Siam based on the reviews. Huge mistake. None of us liked the food, the food tasted bland, and the presentation was not appetizing. There is also a charge for using a credit card. Won't be going back.
Best Thai food in Tampa!!! Could not recommend more highly
Very Fresh and tasty food along with excellent and kind service. Highly recommend.
I’d give 10 stars if I could! Customer service is always fantastic. The food is always fantastic. Their tom kha gai is the best I’ve ever had!
My husband and I have been coming here for over 8 years and have always had a great experience. It is a family business and the owners are very friendly. This is one of the top 2 restaurants that my very picky 3 year old requests to eat at. She loves the chicken fried rice. So do I. I also get the Chicken Pad Khing, coconut lemon soup, Amazing Chicken, etc... The list goes on and on. Food here is excellent! UPDATE: We have been coming here for 12+ years and the food is always consistently amazing! PS - My daughter is now a picky 7 year old and still LOVES to eat here :) My favorite dish now is the Chicken Gang Ped.
Fantastic authentic Thai food! Panang curry chicken with vegetables and Jasmine rice was amazing! Very fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly!
Had the Curry puff meat pastries as an appetizer and they were phenomenal! The service is excellent and the staff are so friendly! They will patiently explain any of the menu items you have questions about. I have eaten in many Tampa Bay area Thai restaurants and this is by far one of my favorites. I highly recommend it anyone looking for authentic fresh and absolutely delicious Thai dishes ☝️💯❤️
My boyfriend and I've been getting take out from Cafe De Siam for about a year now. Everything is always so delicious! My favorite is panang curry and the coconut chicken soup.
Best Thai place in all of Tampa!!!
Great Thai Tea, excellent service, super quick takeout
Super clean n nice!
Haven't been in years before today. Don't know why. Will be back very soon. Good menu choices. Good food in a pleasant dining room. Easy parking.
Dumplings for appetizer and Roast Duck (,crispy). Delicious.
There like family
Definitely the best Thai restaurant in the area. Everything that was ordered had such a good and distinct taste. Portions were good size. Service was prompt as well.
I have tried pretty much all Thai restaurants within 10 miles radius of this one. Nothing compares.
Lovely I am a cafe coffee bug Fan
Great little Thai place. Very basic and very reasonable lunch menu. Been there forever.
First time ordered Kai khaprow from this place and it was amazing.
What a find!! I stopped here with my boyfriend for lunch. Everything we ate was delicious. I highly recommend and would definitely come again.
Good food and good quality.
Wow! What a find and an incredible small place that has amazing food. We had number 43 and 49, both with chicken and hot. This meal did not disappoint! We will be back
We've been trying to find good Thai food since we moved here. We finally found it! 🙌
The best!!!!
WOW!! BEST Asian Food in the area! My friend who has a sensitivity to some Asian spices/ ingredients had zero issues with any of the items ordered. It as so good that we ordered lunch and dinner and lunch the following day because we were craving the flavors!!! YUM!!!!
Great restaurant run by amazing people. The food is the best. I have never ordered a bad thing on the menu. I also love how accommodating they are with the spice/heat level, you can customize each dish and it is great.
Nice people. Delicious food
My forever favourite place for Thai food in Tampa!
Two words...simply divine!!
Best Thai in Tampa! Exceptional food and service!
This place is dropping hot Thai dishes on your table as fast as you sit down and order. Glad we went when it wasn't busy. Had a terrific lunch here.
I love this restaurant. The owner and the employees are very sweet and it is a very delicious and a very clean place. The interior is beautiful as well.
It’s always a pleasure to speak to the owner and have a little conversation.
Did I mention that the food is delicious there? Lol. I may be a creature of habit and order the same dish all the time, but I never get tired of it. Every single time I get that dish, spicy chicken with veggies and rice, it always hits the spot👌🏼 Never have I ever been disappointed.
Thank you so much for your delicious food, the peaceful energy, and the great conversations.
Consistently delicious quality meals, service, cleanliness. Been my favorite home away from home over 10 years!
I am not a big fan of Thai food, however, my wife loves it so we came in and gave it a try. WOW!!! AMAZING!! I loved my meal and so did my wife. We will be back!! Thank you for a great experience!!
Love the food and service
Got the Pad Thai and it was delicious. Nice vibe in small place loved my food!
Best sweet and sour chicken you will find in Tampa. Thai tea is perfect. Great service and great deal. Love this place.
Amazing food and great service.
Amazing food, wonderful owners/chef. If you want great real Thai food, don’t hesitate and go there.
Finally got food here this place it’s close by and I am obsessed! I can’t believe I never tried it before. We got the pad Thai, the massumha, a creamy coconut milk chicken soup& these little seasoned pork pockets! Just wow every bite is delicious... oh and what’s more the lady who answered the phone was so nice and when I went in to pick up she was even nicer and had such a genuine caring nature! Definitely recommend ! And I wi absolutey return !!!!!!
Very good Thai food, almost as good as the food from Thailand!
Had lunch here. Was fantastic. Good pricing and even better food.
Authentic thai food, amazing flavors.
Fantastic! You know how Jay's Noodles is always the Best of Denver? This place is just as good. Great food and ambience make it a standout. Keep the saki warm, we'll be back.
Best Pad Thai in Tampa!
BEST Thai food this side of town. I've been going since 1999, and love the food, service, and atmosphere. My kid brother told me to give them 12 out of 5 stars for keeping the family free for 20 years.
My boyfriend and I love this place! Owner is super friendly and on top of everything! Food is excellent and fresh. The atmosphere is quiet and relaxing.
Excellent food! Excellent service! Just a great restaurant! The food is soooooo great!
Always good!
Delicious food and very cordial hospitality. Specially loved the veg roll, tom yum soup and panang curry!
Excellent food and great lunch specials that include desert!
Love their Pad Ti
Love this place...great food, service and atmosphere. Always have a nice time here.
We were amazed that a little restaurant in a strip mall would have such delicious food. One party in our group actually took cooking lessons in several Asian countries and is quite particular. He was favorably impressed with this place. In addition, they were very accommodating to a woman with very strict dietary restrictions.
A family run restaurant that serves exquisitely made Thai food and has awesome lunch specials. We always plan to have lunch here when we are in the area. Habitat for humanity is next door as well as an LA Fitness center.
One of the top Thai meals I’ve had and great customer service.
I like lunch specials
Been going here for several years. Small yet very good food and service. Always serviced with smile.
This is a quaint, authentic, Thai family owned restaurant. They always greet you with a smile and their food is always delicious.
Second time I visit. The problem I've encountered both time is in the lunch portions. First time that I ordered duck, they served me a 2 inch patty at the most. This time the shrimp dish with vegetables, only 2 shrimps and tons of broccoli.
My wife has been going for over 10 years. The owner treats her like family! She always goes there when she is sick and the soup and tea is just like YiYi would make it.
Food was fantastic!
Truly the best food ever. Nicest owners
Thai at it's best! Cozy, very clean and delicious food. Lunch specials are $7.95 for a good portion. Included is spring roll and dessert. This owner friendly establishment serves fresh, tasty authentic Thai options. Aside from the 10 lunch options, they have a full menu available at any time. Aside from the great lunch deal, I recommend trying the hot Ginger tea, Thom Ka soup, Pad Thai and Gang Ped! Again, you won't be disappointed!!
The cafe is a small little family run Thai restaurant tucked away in the middle of a strip shopping center. We have been going there for years and the food is always delicious. They have a regular and luncheon menu that includes thai egg rolls and dessert at lunchtime.. They do a great deal of takeout business especially in the evening. If you want something out of the usual American diet this is a wonderful place.
Not a fan of their chicken fried rice. It taste like they add milk to their eggs and it sucks to have a chicken fried rice tasting milky. I’ve tasted better Thai fried rice than this one. Very disappointed
The food here is great. It is always a quiet, peaceful atmosphere. I highly recommend eating here.
Quiet, clean, yummy Pad Thai!
3/30/19 first time here. Order appetizer 9- Pad Thai but dinner size for $10.95, (43)-Pad Graprau Chicken and shrimps $10.95 and Cau Pad Supparodt fried rice $10.95. Pad Thai is stirred fry rice noodles with chicken, shrimps, bean sprouts and sprinkle crushed peanuts. Pad Graprau is stirred fry grounded chicken with Thai basil (mild, medium, hot to choose). Cau-pad supparodt fried rice with pineapple. All dishes are so good and tasty. Clean seating area and friendly staff. Want to try other dishes next time if we are in the neighborhood.
Curry puffs
Food is quite good, service very friendly. The taste is quite authentique!
Panang curry beef and pad Thai appetizer very good experience
The menu looks a bit different fron your standard Thai place but the taste was very good. Will be back
Good food
Amo comer el plato pay thai mi favorito exelente ambiente para relajar tu mente
I have been coming here for 15+ years. Absolutely love the quality and service. I highly recommend trying this restaurant for a quiet, relaxing, and delicious meal!
Staff is very nice and food is delicious! Their Thai tea is the best
I'm pretty shocked by my experience here. Considering how great the online reviews were, I was expecting some yummy Thai food. My wife and I placed a carry out order for two panang curries, mine with chicken, hers with veg. First of all, upon coming home and unpacking the food, both curries were in different styles of to-go containers, which was just sort of weird. Both dishes looked very underwhelming and tasted even worse. Panang curry is supposed to be a super flavorful and well balanced dish, but all I could taste was friggin salt and chicken. No richness from the coconut milk, no fresh basil, no sweetness or acidity, just straight up garbage. Hers was similar but with super overcooked mushy vegetables. After adding my own seasoning it was just bearable enough to eat. Later that night my wife and I couldn't sleep cause we had horrible stomach aches, and then diarrhea the next day. Came in the day after to get my money back and the owner starts arguing with me that they would never put out food like that. I ended up getting my refund because I wasn't alright with paying money to get food poisoning. So... yeah.
We don't live in this side of town anymore, so when we can make it, it's always a treat. We love the Gai Grub. No other thai restaurant makes this dish. The family that runs the business is super sweet too!
Awesome!!!
Amazing!!!
Delicious lunch! Affordable: appetizer, meal and dessert all included. Great service and atmosphere too!
Amazing food, wonderful owners and chef. If you want great food, don’t hesitate to come here.
So very disappointing. Read reviews, and had high hopes. Food was terrible AND expensive.
Best Thai in Tampa Bay !!!
One of the best Thai Food places I have ever been to. Food is delicious and the staff is very friendly. I will definitely come back.
Love this place! Best Thai food in Tampa in my opinion. I work in the plaza and get lunch/dinner here pretty often. My go to is their chicken fried rice and egg rolls but they have so many other great options and for a very affordable price! The staff is always so sweet which is also very nice :) highly recommend!
Great food! Very inexpensive. Try their red chicken curry it’s the best!
Really great Thai food. Everything is so fresh and the prices are very reasonable.
Great food! Great service!
I love this place the food is great and the little old lady the works there is amazing. Also the prices are great for what you get.
Excellent
Not great at all. Ordered vermicelli soup and that turned out to be watery and bland. Then, I ordered a panang curry which wasn't at all that good. Only food I liked was their sticky rice dessert. I've been to many thai restaurants and I've had better.
Great Food. Super Nice Staff. Was in Westchase visiting clients looking for a good Thai food restaurant (I live in Pinellas) and found this place on Google. 1st good sign, everyone else was a regular and half of them were sitting by themselves (one told me she drives from her job on Sligh and Armenia every Monday which is prob a 30 min drive). They have a lunch special menu which includes two spring rolls for $7.95. The food was very tasty and flavorful. For $2 more you can order off the regular menu if you want more food. And whatever some other reviewer mentioned about the water being good was not kidding. Although I asked for lemon the proprietor told me I would not need it and she was right! She gave me a takeout menu for my client and nothing on it was over $14.95. Definitely will be back.
This place is the best thai around. I go every week, totally worth it and its very reasonably priced.
